4worldlovers: Our Acoustical Engineers Have Helped Canadian Organizations Solve Their Noise and Vibration Problems for Over 25 Years


With unrivalled expertise in the field of vibro-acoustics, backed by more than 25 years’ practical experience, we’re proud to offer acoustical engineering services and cutting-edge noise and vibration control solutions across Ontario through our Toronto office. We employ a vastly skilled team of over 100 experts, including 30 acousticians and PhDs specialized in vibro-acoustics. Our dedicated workforce pool their accumulated field experience and collective know-how to help you solve any problem related to:


Building & room acoustics (HVAC system noise, room soundproofing, facade sound insulation, structure-borne noise and vibration control, reverberation issues, speech privacy and intelligibility optimization, acoustic performance measurements, evaluations and recommendations following Tarion Construction Performance Guidelines, WELL Building Standards, and LEED Green Building Rating Program.);


Environmental noise emissions (compliance assessments, data mapping and studies monitoring the impact on acoustic environments, projections detailing the post-implementation effect of noise attenuation measures, etc.);


Noise and vibration control in industrial facilities and construction sites (monitoring and assessment of the integrity of structures and equipment, human perspectives, implementation of effective mitigation measures, machinery soundproofing etc.);


Noise and vibration control (class 1 precision on-site measurements, advanced analytics and reporting)


Noise law compliance (NPC-300 environmental noise guideline and city-specific community noise bylaws)


Environmental monitoring campaigns (outdoor noise, ground vibrations, dust emissions, drilling and blasting)


Heavy equipment soundproofing (Custom-made machine soundproofing blankets, silencers and vibration dampeners)


Workplace noise measurements and dosimetry (Occupational Health and Safety Act O. Reg. 381/15)


Acoustical imagery (aerial noise mapping, noise source and sound leakage visualization, room acoustics simulation)


Workplace acoustics (reverberation control, meeting room and private office soundproofing, speech privacy, open office distractions and sound masking technology)


Residential acoustics (Tarion Bulletin 19 reviews and certification, building services noise and vibration control, post-construction acoustical testing, ASTC and FIIC field measurements, condo unit soundproofing guidance)


Whether it’s generated by transport, resource extraction, industrial processes or construction work, outdoor noise is always subject to regulations. In Ontario just like anywhere else, failure to comply with noise laws invariably impacts the health and wellbeing of humans.

Most call it noise pollution, but there aren’t many true noise polluters—only plenty of noise emitters oblivious to their actual sonic impact, especially in the absence of significant complaints. And even with the best intentions, navigating through multiple concurrent noise ordinances, regulations and bylaws will seldom yield clear answers as to just exactly how loud is too loud.


In the end, the real challenge is reconciling inherently loud operations with a nearby community’s right for peace and subjective take on quiet. We understand this challenge more than anyone. How’s that? When Canadian Malartic Partnership, Canada’s largest open pit gold mine—with nearly a hundred pieces of gigantic, loud mobile equipment and 24/7 operations carried less than 400 meters from the nearest residential dwellings—made it a priority to ensure peace and quiet for their 2500 neighbors by taking control of noise emissions across 24km², they called us.


Our acousticians and vibration experts take on-site measurements to gain a better understanding of the propagation paths as well as the vibratory and acoustic behaviours of all machines and processes involved. However, with new machines still in the design process, or when more complex vibro-acoustical measurements are involved, numerical calculations based on analytical models or even finite elements can be used to accurately predict the noise and vibration levels of select machines or parts. This enables our experts to implement and refine mitigation measures earlier on in the industrial equipment design and commissioning process.


Dealing with noisy machines and industrial equipment? Let’s wrap them up in our heavy duty soundproofing blankets. Adaptable to all equipment shapes and sizes, our soundproofing blankets not only deliver outstanding noise isolation performance at a very reasonable cost, but are also fully waterproof, UV resistant, and easy to install. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor equipment, including moving vehicles, our soundproofing blankets are particularly efficient in reducing high noise levels at low frequencies, which are typically the most difficult to attenuate.

Thanks to Class 1 measuring instruments developed in-house by our R&D engineers, our acousticians can objectively evaluate the comfort and confidentiality levels of your office spaces, in accordance with recognized standards such as WELL Building Standard and LEED v4.1 Acoustic Performance requirements. What’s more, we’ll help you achieve the desired acoustic standards while keeping your construction or retrofitting costs to a minimum. How? By first validating simpler, more cost-effective solutions, such as sound masking technology, before resorting to more complex soundproofing work and specialized sound absorbing materials.
